Comments on: Where Now? http://webgazette.co.uk/2007/11/15/where-now/ Change is the only constant...

Post about an interesting theme that someone else has developed or post about a cool plugin that is useful. I am sure that if you made a post asking for suggestions and said you would highlight some of the good ones here, you could get many leads on great ones to put up. This would definitely keep you in the theme/web design business and keep this site relevant for the foreseeable future. The reason why I surfed here today is because I wanted to see some new theme designs and I love just about everyone of yours, but just looking for something new. You might want to add some Google ads as well. I am sure no one would really take offense to them at all and collecting the obviously decent amount of revenue you'd get, it might just be a little push to putting in a few hours a month to do the postings I mention above.

I am definitely not going to sell the site. I may not have the time and enthusiasm at the moment but this is because my studies are taking all my time. By this time next year my studies will be finished and I will have time to do other things once again. Thanks for your opinion Andreas. I am definitely not going to sell the site.

You could of course earn a whole lot from selling to a advertising company. But I guess that people are still coming here looking for themes and updates, and then it would be nice to keep the site running. I have thought about selling my site as well just to get a fresh start and build something new. But it is seriously difficult to sell a personal website on a domain tied to my name so I'm stuck with it. You are not, so if you don't have the time and motivation to continue - go for new adventures! If you ever return to themes and blogging, there are plenty of ways to get back into the spotlight again. I think selling it to someone who could continue to release themes would be a good idea.

I was just talking about options that I could do. Sooner or later I may well get the urge to make some more themes. I just need to get my studies out of the way first. Hi Tim,

I don’t think I will shut down the site. I was just talking about options that I could do.

Sooner or later I may well get the urge to make some more themes. I just need to get my studies out of the way first.

Your themes are very useful to users worldwide. So the worst thing you can do is to shut down the whole blog. Just post when you really want to, even if there are months between your posts.

Maybe then I will have time to design but I doubt I will do much more theme work. Sell it... I don't know, let me think about that ;-) I eventually will get time but it will probably be in 12 months.

(In that case I'd like to buy it! I would also keep your design online) PS: I recently translated in italian Multiflex 3.
